Helptext on minimized charts

Is there a way of showing the Helptext on Minimized charts. This would help for users to see what the chart is about without first maximizing it.

If you hover your mouse for a moment at a minimized chart, a tooltip will appear with the chart title, this should give your users enough info.

another way is to have a hidden textbox triggered by a button, Have a look at sample file "What's New in Qlikview 11.qvw"

Thanks

The hovering does not help, the chart title is not giving enough info, we need to explain what the chart can be used for in comparison to another similar tab with almost the same wording.

I will have a look at the model you suggested, Do you have a link to it?

I believe the sample file is already in your Qlikview installation. It should be at the "Start Page"

Qlikview helpdesk asked me to add it as an idea for new functionality
